The question of the social function of libraries has become increasingly significant for many public libraries. How do libraries contribute to the community? If this issue can obviously not receive unique and definitive answers, it questions in-depth professional practice of librarians. Where does the role of librarians end and where does that of other professionals begin? What partnerships can be established? And how libraries evolve to be more engaged with the social realities of their communities?
Through meetings and visits that punctuate Cyclo-Biblio tour, I hope to exchange with professionals leading projects based on sharing knowledge and know-how, on the design of the library as a place users oriented, and the desire to reach out various audiences, including those in situations of social disadvantage or cultural exclusion.
